Having tested the new (air) gs x 2 and the old (er) twin cam I'm confused which to buy, love the new bike, but also love the torque and feel of the twin cam.
So is it £14,000 plus for new one or £8 to 9000 for a 2011 triple Black gs, with luggage and about 10 k on clock, struggling to decide, not sure new one so good as to warrant £5000 or more extra.
Advice please.

Either way you will not be disappointed. I have a 2011 triple black GS and love it! Just think of what you can do to the triple black (Wilber shocks, Remus headers, new saddle, windshield) with the money you will save.

My cobber and I bought 2011 models for our trip in 2012 - mine a Tripleblack and his a GSA. Combined we did 84,000kms through the Americas and had one puncture. Great bikes. I'm sure the new model is too.

Amazing, thank you, hoping to head into Africa this September on the bike, but your trip sounds in a diferent league. No doubting the abilities of both models, difficult to imagine how the new one could be so much better.

We bought our bikes new and did about 10,000km on them before we shipped to Canada. Quite frankly, they were barely run in. 5,000 quid would pretty much cover your freight costs to Africa I would think. I presume (cos you're a pom) that the 10k you refer to is miles. In my opinion, she will just be beginning to loosen up. Also, being a Tripleblack you get the wire wheels and probably a higher level of finish. Good luck with the decision making!

Yes, a Pom : ) , will ride to Africa, about 1800 miles from here to Morroco, with the weather getting better on the way hopefully.
10k is the mileage on the bike, won't be there long, so better make that decision.

Does anyone have any recommendations on a tank bag with a good size map holder for a 1250 GS? Preferably one that does not block view of the TFT dash. Or just a map holder that can be mounted to the tank.

I know this must’ve been asked a few times but the twist for me is that I’m looking for a more sport touring tire rather than 70/30 or 90/10. This is for a 2018 GS low suspension. Here’s the orig. tires that came with the bike. Lasted 6k miles on mostly touring and canyon rides.

I have 2 computers I use for BaseCamp route planning; a desktop in my office and a MS Surface to be mobile. I get irritated that both computers don’t have the same information on them. So I investigated and resolved the issue. Here's what I did. My Desktop had the most routes on it so I...
